Notes

Trade paperback. Will's friends laugh off his jokes about becoming a serial killer. When the gang reunite fifteen years later, Will does not show up, and their jokey investigations of whether Will is murdering sinisterly bear fruit. The group of friends then come to suspect they are his next targets. An exciting debut with a touch of Stephen King and Harlan Coben.
